IFS Named A Top Lobbying Firm Again in 2016

For a second year in a row, the team Innovative Federal Strategies has been named a top lobbying firm in Washington, DC for their work on behalf of clients. Information regarding the metrics used by Bloomberg Government with a complete list of the top firms is included below.

(Bloomberg) — Lobbying is big business in Washington. Until a few years ago, however, there was no way to assess or compare the performances of D.C.’s many lobbying firms. Bloomberg Government set out to change that in 2014 by adapting and applying traditional business metrics, such as customer satisfaction and revenue growth.

With 2016’s lobbying data now filed, Bloomberg Government has reviewed the numbers for 1,721 registered lobbying firms to identify the 31 top performers.

At No. 1 this year is Petrizzo Group Inc., a newcomer to the list, as was the case with one of last year’s top firms.

Of roughly 1,721 registered lobbying firms that filed disclosure reports with the Senate during 2016, 31 met all of our criteria — five more than last year — and are included in the top performer list.

Relative performance in each of the five criteria outside of the revenue threshold was then calculated to determine the placement of the 31 firms on the list.
